Arsenal target Youri Tielemans has “100 per cent” decided against signing a new Leicester City contract, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Fabrizio Romano: Arsenal target will ‘100%’ not sign new contract with free transfer loomingHe was linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer transfer window with Leicester willing to entertain offers in the region of £30million.He started the season relatively slowly but has gradually improved, as have Leicester as a whole.
With Thomas Partey injury prone and Albert Sambi Lokonga yet to fully adapt to English football, signing a new central midfielder is probably on the agenda when the transfer window opens in January.The Brazilian is a different type of midfielder to Tielemans, so it will be interesting to see if the Gunners try to sign him on a cut-price deal in the winter window, or if they will go for someone similar to Luiz – who has since penned a new long-term contract at Villa Park.
Mikel Arteta is also thought to be keen on signing a new winger in January, with Shakhtar Donetsk’s Mykhaylo Mudryk a reported target.You got the impression in the summer that Arsenal would have made a move for Tielemans if another club bit the bullet, so this could happen in the winter, as opposed to waiting on him being available for nothing six months later.This is according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, who says there is no chance Tielemans pens a new Leicester contract.
